Featured Moderator

The award-winning Irish journalist, Karen Coleman is a highly sought-after international moderator who has substantial experience moderating a wide range of events from major EU conferences to strategic roundtable debates. Her substantial background in radio and television broadcasting, and her significant knowledge of European and global issues, mean she can expertly conduct dynamic panel debates and on-stage interviews as well as interact with audiences and conference participants.

She can work with an array of event formats from conventional stage set-ups to world café styles and other interactive scenarios.

I and my colleagues were very impressed indeed by your highly professional moderating skills. This conference would not have been a success without you.
